Lampway is a 3D suite on a Blender 5.2 core with an AI agent inside it and a server you run yourself. It uses the models and studios you already pay for, on your own machine, and it asks before it spends.
Build it from sourceSee what is builtSource on GitHub
Open source, GPL-3.0-or-later, early and built in the open. Linux is the platform that has been built and run. No binaries yet. Every claim on this site names the report that measured it, or says it has not been run.
Most AI 3D products rent you a hosted model and a credit counter. Lampway turns that around: the models, the studio sign-ins and the server are yours, and a spend is a click you make.
Run the agent on an Anthropic key, any OpenAI-compatible server, OpenRouter with a hard session ceiling, or your ChatGPT plan through OpenAI’s own “Sign in with ChatGPT” flow.
Tripo for 3D and Higgsfield for image and video are used through your sign-in. A job that spends credits stops and waits for your click, with the price read back from the studio.
Every tool is an algorithm that works without a model: retopology, UV, rig, mesh QA, projection. A model or a studio slots in behind the same interface when it helps.
Live
The agent drives your scene by running Python in a sandbox. In Plan Mode it writes the plan and waits for you to Approve. When it needs a decision it asks, and your answer resumes it. Checkpoints rewind the conversation.
For parallel work it starts up to six workers, each a headless Blender process. A worker’s result reaches your scene only through a typed, fenced commit (epoch, fence token, hash checks, receipts), and a failed worker lands nothing.
The viewport is a real capture from the live app (a mesh-painted chest plate and the sphere from the plan run). The plan bubble and the three worker cards are redrawn on top of it from the real runs. The live panel still draws Mixar’s cat as the avatar; the flame avatar shown here replaces it.
Waiting for your confirmation

Prices from the studios report: mesh 100, texture 30, PBR 5, unwrap 20 credits.
Built
Studios live inside the client. The agent can plan a job and read back the price. It cannot confirm one: spending is a click you make, not a setting an agent can flip.
Tripo’s read-only state call ran against the real tab, and a read-only live diff of Higgsfield’s tools matched its schemas. No generation has been run on either studio. Two residual gaps are listed in the studios report: the bridge’s own exec path, and a person running the confirm operator by hand.
Live
A prompt library sits under every generation: 18 built-in templates (7 video, 11 image) with typed variables, per-model adapters, versions that never overwrite, and A/B comparison by variant_of. Each run is logged with its rating, cost and gates. You see the price estimate before a job is submitted, a per-job cap and a ledger cap apply, and a job is never resubmitted.

Partial
The pipeline was built against a real set of game armour. Each stage is a tool with a typed result; the stages that touch geometry run before texturing, because a geometry change discards a texture.
11 stages: 3 live, 6 built, 2 planned. Wave 2 stages are judged by commit message; their suites were not re-run for this page.
A typed catalogue of seed meshes with the settings that made them; a ranking law that puts proportions first, then defects, then fidelity. Only you pick.
Regenerated plates ranked against the reference, a deterministic alpha cut, checks, a manifest.
Through the Tripo studio on a saved copy. Texturing always comes last.
Open loops and floating shells drawn per piece; your red, green and yellow strokes are rulings. Reproduced live on a recorded chest: 91 candidates.
Proportion scoring per piece, UV score and texel density, mesh defect scan, silhouette comparison.
Enclosure placement with one uniform scale; keep, gasket or delete for each opening.
Four clay views, silhouette-ranked picks (0.990 to 0.994 IoU on the live piece), plates, projection.
Patch holes, UV patches, maps, relief projection, material masks. Ran end to end on the real piece.
Textures and a README of hashes and conventions beside the FBX.
Wave 3. The seam-aware transfer that the 7.3 cm cuirass tear needs.
Wave 3. Skeleton export and an import check against the engine set.
Planned
The plan: generate one split-screen clip that shows the walk from the front and from the side, find 2D joints in each panel, triangulate them, check the silhouette against the clip, then loop and export. Two views give depth and tell the legs apart without a heavy model.
Video generation, motion transfer and the side-track prompt template exist. The clips on this page are experiments with them.
The multi-view joint tracker, retarget and loop export are Wave 4, which has not started.

Lampway began as a fork of the GPL Mixar desktop client, which is itself a custom build of Blender. We kept the client and wrote the backend, because Mixar’s is closed and hosted. Upstream copyright and licence notices stay, as the GPL requires.
Lampway is an independent open-source project, started from the GPL-licensed Mixar client and built on Blender. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Mixar, Adeveda Enterprises Private Limited or the Blender Foundation.
